Didn't look for it but wasn't that particular conversion done with a manual tranny not a 6 speed auto?


Suggestion ---its fair to assume new components will have to be fabricated for the latest conversion with 6 speed auto
If its feasible please consider making some extra parts to sell to others who want the same setup.

I read when you were in the LS decision phase, you offered to document fabbed items to make / sell to support future swaps.
I highly suggest doing this for the 5.0/6spd auto swap.
A blue oval, boostable power, modern = winning!
oops - I see you posted your response to this as I was typing...

I still feel really bad...

What??? I dont.
Just close your eyes and pretend an illegal invaded your engine compartment. If you can't do it i'll come over and rip it out by its little 281 throat.
You are doing it a big favor --- gut it no mercy.




I still feel really bad for taking such a beautiful running car apart......but I know that, in the end, it will be worth it:
 
I think I want to pay particular attention to this thread, since I have a line on a new complete Coyote available for under $6000, and comes with FoMoCo factory warranty for 2 years. Fitment and wiring were my main concerns. Hoping I can learn something useful, and help my decision. I originally wanted to go S/C, but since Trilogy isn't an option anymore, I need to look at other avenues.

And, going this route will get you a considerably stronger motor, in stock form. These look pretty beefy on the bottom end, plus they have the piston oil cooling jets which is great for forced induction. This photo is from an F150 unit with some lower end issues:

Glad to see you went in this direction. Once you start working on the new engine/electronics, you'll love how it makes the 4.6 look and feel dated. Lol.

The F150 5.0 is not that far different from the Mustang Coyote. Yes, the intake cams, pistons, and exhaust manifolds are different. The intake manifold is exactly the same from design standpoint, but it's cast from black instead of gray plastic. Save your money.

The oil pan is the same as well, but the mustang engine comes with a trick oil pan gasket with a built in crank scraper. So add that gasket to your shopping list.

PBH kit will require a newer mustang timing cover as well. There is also a corresponding oil filter adapter. The truck adapter has an option for the oil cooler, but it can be removed if space is an issue.
 
When that coyote is in there, that may be a route for me. Always loved fords 5.0 motors since my 87 mustang gt
 
Joe Walsh - And if you think about it.....the N/A 5.0 Coyote makes about the same RWHP as an Eaton blown 4.6....:eek:

The 2011-2014 F-150s aren't as much as the Mustangs - 360HP / 380FtLb *87Unleaded | 375HP / 390FtLB *E85 (flywheel).

The 2015 gets a bump to 385HP / 387FtLb

^ Correct.

From my understanding, this is due to an intake camshaft change, manifold v. shorty header, and different tune. (F150 v. Mustang)

My intentions are to boost the heck out of this workhorse motor. It's been my experience, with GM LS motors anyhow, that on boost there is little difference in power v. the higher end motors (LS1/6.0L/6.2). I've seen many a 4.8L GEN III put down over 800 RWHP in stock trim.

I'm hoping.......that by going back to Ford.....I will see similar results with the Coyote. From what I can see by guys that are running boost, they seem to throw down pretty good :).
 
Time for a little tech info! If anyone has some suggestions or such, please chime in!

Here's my battle plan for the fuel system. The factory Marauder is ERFS (electronic returnless fuel system), as many here know. Pressure is changed by varying the pump speed based on demand.

The F150 Coyote computer is not. It's a fixed pressure with a high/low switch, which keeps the pressure static at around 53-58 psi.

My solution to this issue is, remove the stock Marauder fuel pump/sender, replace with a 2002 Grand Marquis hanger/sender (same fuel tank between the two), and install a Walbro 255 on the hanger (same pump as my Turbo Vic). This will change the pump/hanger back to a return style system with two outlets from the fuel tank. Run a Corvette fuel filter (has built in regulator that cuts pressure to 55 psi) mounted in the stock Marauder filter location, and the Vette filter will connect to the Marauder's push-connect style fuel supply line from there up to the engine bay.

I will be using braided AN hose from the tank to the filter, as with my other builds.

The only thin I'm uncertain on right now is the tuning side of that. The FRPP coyote power pack tuning wants a fixed fuel pressure at 55 psi, and as you can see in the screenshots of the tune on that link, I believe I've deciphered how they have done that. Wanting confirmation on the HPT forum. Here's the link:
